Hi maximust,
thanks for your reply.
The sawmill installed in two pelletizers and all the associated
hardware at the cost 10-13million dollars. The roi was /is very poor..
weak market, high energy cost, labour etc etc.Better to use the methane
to heat the dry kilns and make eletricity to eliminate the 13,280
gigijoules of natural gas and 22580 kw hr per month of energy we use.
Wood waste is 16500 tons per mo at 50% moisture.Could the moisture
content be used to fac down/reform (via catalyst) the gases? It would
already be superheated steam.
